Yea, it appears to address that, but the new cable doesn’t seem user replaceable/fixable and it doesn’t appear possible to extend it, as the original cable was (albeit with difficulty).

Unless I'm misunderstanding their online shop (which annoyingly requires a login to view) shows replacement cables of 75 foot or 150 foot length (for $60 and $85 respectively). The gen 1 dish had a 100 foot cable that wasn't made to be (easily) user replaceable.

The ends look like a proprietary connection with a waterproof uh... double o-ring? I'm sure there's a better word for it and I'm blanking on it. (https://api.starlink.com/public-files/StarlinkCable_1100x620...)

The word you are looking for is gasket. :)
